         2 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 1 , further comprising a chimney contained within the housing and extending from the first end of the housing to the second end of the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 2 , wherein the heating element is electrically connected to the second contact connector via one or more wires. 
     
     
         4 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more wires is located within the chimney. 
     
     
         5 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 1 , further comprising an adapter at the second end of the housing, wherein the second contact connector is contained within the adapter. 
     
     
         6 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 5 , further comprising a base at the first end of the housing, wherein the first contact connector is contained within the base. 
     
     
         7 . The vaporizer of  claim 6 , wherein the adapter is configured to be coupled with the base such that the first contact connector is in electrical communication with the second contact connector. 
     
     
         8 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 5 , wherein the adapter is configured to be coupled with a mouthpiece. 
     
     
         9 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 6 , wherein the base is configured to be coupled with a power source such that the power source is in electrical communication with the first contact connector. 
     
     
         10 . The vaporizer cartridge of  claim 1 , wherein the heating element is a heating coil. 
     
     
         11 . A portable vaporizer comprising:
 a power source,   a mouthpiece, and   a vaporizer cartridge coupled to the power source and the mouthpiece, the first cartridge comprising:
 a housing extending from a first end to a second end; 
 a heating element contained within the housing; 
 a first contact connector located at a first end of the vaporizer cartridge; and 
 a second contact connector located at a second end of the vaporizer cartridge; 
 wherein the first contact connector is electrically connected to the heating element; 
 wherein the heating element is electrically connected to the second contact connector; and 
 wherein the second contact connector is configured to be electrically connected to a secondary vapor cartridge. 
   
     
     
         12 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 11 , wherein the vaporizer cartridge further comprises a chimney contained within the housing and extending from the first end of the housing to the second end of the housing. 
     
     
         13 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 12 , wherein the heating element is electrically connected to the second contact connector via one or more wires. 
     
     
         14 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more wires is located within the chimney. 
     
     
         15 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 11 , wherein the vaporizer cartridge further comprises an adapter at the second end of the housing, wherein the second contact connector is contained within the adapter. 
     
     
         16 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 15 , wherein the vaporizer cartridge further comprises a base at the first end of the housing, wherein the first contact connector is contained within the base. 
     
     
         17 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 16 , wherein the adapter is configured to be coupled with the base such that the first contact connector is in electrical communication with the second contact connector. 
     
     
         18 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 15 , wherein the adapter is configured to be coupled with a mouthpiece. 
     
     
         19 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 16 , wherein the base is configured to be coupled with a power source such that the power source is in electrical communication with the first contact connector. 
     
     
         20 . The portable vaporizer of  claim 11 , wherein the heating element is a heating coil.
